Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts (SPA), located here locally in the Sugarhouse community, embodies a unique approach to education for high school-age students who are interested in the performing arts. We are a charter school that is sponsored by the Salt Lake School District. This allows us to be a tuition-free school as well as ensures that we provide an excellent academic and artistic experience for our students.

We offer a unique performing arts curriculum focused on the individual. Since individual creativity is integral to the production of art, SPA faculty and staff work with students individually and collectively to stimulate intellectual, artistic, and technical originality. We strive to graduate individuals who can work independently and creatively.

Our tracks of study – in Dance, Music, Theatre, Performance Design and Technology, and Media Art - are designed for motivated students who desire the most from their efforts in the performing arts and in the classroom. SPA desires to create positive learning and performing experiences for all students, and to provide the knowledge and inspiration to take their art to the next level.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in experiencing a day in the life of a performing arts student, we are having five shadow days this Spring. This is a great way to learn more about the school and see if we are the right fit for you. To sign up and learn more, go to www.saltlakespa.org/shadow-days
